To start, you can look at the median gpa + scores for the schools you are applying to. If your gpa is below that, look to get a score higher than the median.
What A1 said. There’s so much pressure around GRE and GMAT scores, but honestly, a “good” or “decent” score really depends on your target schools. For many reputable MBA programs, a GMAT score in the 640–700 range or a GRE score around 310–320 is considered competitive. Of course, top-tier programs tend to average higher, but there are lots of strong schools where you don’t need a near-perfect score.
As others have said, look at the average test scores and GPAs for the programs you are targeting. If you have a GPA that is at or above the average then they may be forgiving on a lower test score that is within the 80% range.
Keep in mind that the GMAT scores you are seeing in class profiles are the OG GMAT. Top 10 programs are typically ~730. With the new GMAT scoring, a 675-685 is roughly a 730. Rule of thumb is to add ~45 points to the GMAT (Focus Edition) score to get what you might have scored on the old version.
Keep in mind that the test scores and GPA are just a small part of the overall assessment. If you have outstanding work progression or significant expertise in a business function or area of interest (AI? Supply chain?) then that will help you.
Similarly, strong leadership (either at or outside of work) will serve you well.
